Abstract Introduction While hyperammonemia is traditionally associated with decompensated cirrhosis, emerging evidence suggests that disturbances in nitrogen homeostasis contribute to disease progression in earlier stages of steatohepatitis and fibrosis.

Brain Aquaporin 4 in Hyperammonemia [PDF]
In liver failure, congenital enzymopathies of the urea cycle, and other disorders, ammonia may not be properly detoxified and thus hyperammonemia ensues.

Arsenic in realgar induces CNS toxicity through direct and indirect effects: it activates ZBTB7A in astrocytes, which in turn inhibits glycolysis and impairs mice's learning, memory, and exploration; it also suppresses OTC in the liver to block the ornithine cycle, leading to blood ornithine accumulation that crosses into the frontal lobe and further ...

Possible missed diagnosis of Ureaplasma spp infection in a case of fatal hyperammonemia after repeat renal transplantation [PDF]
•Ureaplasma spp are associated with complications among renal transplant patients. •Ureaplasma spp may have been the cause of fatal hyperammonemia. •Specific culture conditions or molecular methods are required to detect Ureaplasma.

ABSTRACT Asparaginase is an integral component of therapy for pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoblastic lymphoma. The success of asparaginase‐containing regimens has led to trials of pediatric/pediatric‐inspired regimens incorporating asparaginase for treating adolescent and young adult (AYA) and adult populations with acute ...

ABSTRACT Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) and propionic acidemia (PA) are inherited metabolic disorders affecting valine and isoleucine catabolism. Long‐term therapy mainly involves dietary protein restriction. An amino acid mixture (AAM, medical food) free of the precursor amino acids is frequently used, especially when protein intake does not reach World

ABSTRACT Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is a rare metabolic disorder with various subtypes, including Cobalamin B (cblB) disease. While cardiac complications are well‐documented in propionic acidemia, their occurrence in MMA is less understood. Here, we report a 12‐year‐old child with cblB disorder who developed acute cardiomyopathy (CM).

L-ornithine phenylacetate attenuates increased arterial and extracellular brain ammonia and prevents intracranial hypertension in pigs with acute liver failure [PDF]
Hyperammonemia is a feature of acute liver failure (ALF), which is associated with increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain herniation. We hypothesized that a combination of L-ornithine and phenylacetate (OP) would synergistically reduce toxic ...

Skeletal muscle myopenia in mice model of bile duct ligation and carbon tetrachloride-induced liver cirrhosis [PDF]
Skeletal muscle myopathy is universal in cirrhotic patients, however, little is known about the main mechanisms involved. The study aims to investigate skeletal muscle morphological, histological, and functional modifications in experimental models of ...
